Shrewd wife of Lin brothers

" Good, good! You snatch things from me and yet you try to act smart with me! You brat let's see how I deal with you once we go back home! Just you wait" Headmaster Yuan was so angry that his face turned purple. He couldn't help but angrily pinch Yuan Bai's cheek, has anyone seen such a robber? Not only does he steal but he also acts arrogant! Can stealing be justified like this? If a bandit loots a rich man, can he get away with the ' hey you are so rich why are you making a fuss ' speech just like that? If so what was the need of Yamen? 

An old and one young stared at each other, lighting zap flickering between them as the air around them started to heat up.  The surrounding near the two was boiling but the other students and teachers who were facing this farce could feel their 'respect' for the two tumble level after level. Falling until it reached rock bottom.

' seriously was this really the esteemed Head Master Yuan and not some imposter ?' wondered the teachers while the student looked at Yuan Bai in complete stupefaction with their mouths hanging open as all of them wondered  ' was this really the indifferent and aloof child prodigy Yuan Bai? Or did he get replaced? ' 

Su Wan and Lin Rui were also stunned, Su Wan blinked her eyes and exchanged a glance with Lin Rui and Lin Jing who were mirroring her dumbfounded expression perfectly. Then she whipped her head and looked at the hostile expression on the grandfather and grandson and immediately felt that she might have done a great sin. She actually made a grandfather get angry at his grandson and a grandson fight with his grandfather for just a few snacks - if she doesn't stop them now then maybe it will be really terrible.

So, she hurriedly spoke up to persuade the two of them " Little master Yuan, Headmaster Yuan there - there is no need for you two get angry. It's just some small snacks, I can send them with brother Meng every time ( the Yuan family's housekeeper) when he comes to our house to buy vegetables"

As soon as headmaster Yuan heard that he could get these snacks, he immediately smiled " good! It's really good. Su Wan ah, I didn't misinterpret you or Rui, you both are really match made in heaven." then he turned to Yuan Bai who was still munching on the shrimp chips and chided lightly " alright if you are done with this go and bring your brother Rui to his dormitory."

Yuan Bai raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything, as Headmaster Yuan's grandson he never had to do such things and even if his grandfather asked him to do so, many were willing to take on those tedious tasks. It wasn't that Yuan Bai was spoiled or he was arrogant, he just found it a complete waste of time, those scholars would become proud as a peacock if he were to send them back. Believing that his grandfather had high regards from them - initially his grandfather did have some high expectations but then those students went ahead and disappointed him.

But Yuan Bai knew that Lin Rui was a good person, because his grandfather would often boast about him..saying that it was his good luck that brought such a good disciple to him. Though Yuan Bai had many thoughts, he didn't let them show on his face and simply answered with a 'yes ' before walking in front of Lin Rui and saying " brother come with me"

The headmaster's beloved grandson actually became a guide ' for a student. And not only that he also arranged the best room for this student named ' Lin Rui'. This news soon spread all over the academy, though many knew that Lin Rui was the top scorer no one paid much attention to him because before him many top scorers arrived in the academy with big ' hoo' 'hah' and then became nothing but history as they couldn't attract Headmaster Yuan's attention and reverence. So, many started to ponder what exactly was different about this ' Lin Rui'? Will the headmaster Yuan finally be willing to take a disciple? 

Lin Rui didn't know that he was already the main topic of the academy's gossip mongrels.  Currently, he was putting down his things in his dormitory. As he looked around in his room from the desk and chair and touched the soft bedsheet, his heart couldn't help but feel full, he finally made it.  Only he knew how much he wanted to enter a prestigious academy to fulfil the dreams of his parents, now that he was standing in this room - the full pressure of carrying the responsibility of his parent's expectations and dreams finally eased a lot. 

Lin Jing looked at the happy expression of his brother and felt his heart heat up as well. Though he wasn't with his brothers much, he knew that to Lin Rui entering an academy was a big thing, as an uneducated hunter he couldn't understand the importance of such things but Lin Rui whose entire life's goal was to become a scholar - to him this must matter a lot. 

Then he looked around his brother's roommate, one of them was five years older than Lin Rui while the other was just sixteen, however, neither of them looked at them with contempt. Nor did they shoot Lin Rui unfriendly gazes filled with jealousy, at such a fine age they already knew how to act with propriety. Only then did Lin Jing's uneasy heart ease a bit.

Su Wan was also quite worried about Lin Rui, this silent guy who hardly let anyone know what was wrong with him. So she too kept fussing as she patted his bed sheet and chartered on and on about whether he had everything or not " Ah Rui, did you bring your medicine? I know you won't catch a cold but you should still have a few in case of emergency, here keep them. And do you have enough money? I don't know how much you might need but -"

" I have enough money," said Lin Rui, though he spoke calmly. He really wanted to hug Su Wan, a fussing wife - how cute was that! However, this room wasn't his alone and he couldn't ask his new roommates to leave either. And with Shen Junxi present here, he didn't think that he would be able to do anything like that but then to his surprise Shen Junxi did something that he never expected him to.

"Ah, would you look at the time? It's already past noon - hey brat, let's go and grab something to eat" said Shen Junxi suddenly then he turned to look at the two roommates of Lin Rui and grinned " come with us, as a thank you for your help I will treat you to a meal. As for you Wan Wan, help this brat to settle down. I will bring something for you two to eat" then he dragged Lin Jing outside with him.

Though the two boys didn't think that their help was worth much, they understood why Shen Junxi asked them to come with him.. They two exchanged a glance and then they too walked out of the room leaving Su Wan and Lin Rui alone.
